No point trying to dig people up on things when we were clearly struggling and desperate for any form of success. Just enjoy the here and now Roofe itten balogun improved us. Morelos is not firing we don't just rely on a past it Defoe even if he's a great goal scorer. Squad is much better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mentality is much better, clear as day in guys like Tav who have kept the levels up all season long. L hammer93 likes this Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compare this squad to last season. Roofe and Itten coming on and scoring goals. We didn't have that last season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marco 609 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Easily Gerrard. I thought it was a sign of desperation as well as a frank assessment of where we had ended up. We'd sacked a Portuguese manager who we plucked from nowhere and we'd been knocked back by McIness (thank fuck!). Now we were bringing in a marque name, but one known for his playing career rather than his threadbare managerial experience. I was a bit more positive with a senior coach like McAllister signing too and expected SG's name could attract players, but not a chance I predicted the transformation into a quality side that's looked every bit the part even against Champions League calibre teams. Will also hold my hands up and say that there was several points throughout SG's tenure that I believed my original view correct and wanted him gone. Always seemed to do well in Europe, but if you can't get it done domestically then you're simply not good enough for Rangers. Strictly speaking he's still not got it done domestically, but that'll change very soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the losses and new year performances and results were shocking. He was right to get abuse for them. He’s always been able to pick a player and his system is great when it works - just wasn’t a plan B. He’s a young manager who is learning and has the potential to be an all-time great but the lack of adapting almost cost him his career here Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For the record I think the guy has something and he was getting slated on the live match thread yesterday when I thought he was doing ok.

Ricksen being one and Lovenkrands who was quite young, suppose Goldson could fall into that category. What about McCoist? To young to remember, but apparently the full stadium used to sing Ally Ally gtf... Don't remember Lovenkrands having a bad start. Remember thinking that he was the fastest player I had ever seen by some difference and thinking that someone was going to go through him cause they couldn't keep up and he would lose that lightning pace he had. Which, inevitably, did happen. Was still fast when he came back but nowhere near the speed when he literally burst (with pace) pm to the scene. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly, so did the governing bodies and forced him out the country. ☹ That headbutt was nothing compared with some I've seen since. Zidane's for one, if that header was on Roberto Carlos he would have killed him🤣🤣 My Fathers Scarf likes this Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For some reason I had totally forgot about Super Ally, I was born 84 though but I can mind him being nicknamed the Judge a bit later. Lovenkrands never really got going till big Eck came in and he got more game time that second half of 2001/2002 season, suppose Advocaat was just easing him and not really a bad start like I posted.

I wouldn't go as far as to say it was the full stadium mate but he certainly took a hell of an amount of abuse from the stands, there was however still a bit of support for him. When he first came we were in a terrible place as a football team and the support was at each others throats, with him being the main striker he caught the brunt of it.
